What Complete Stump Removal Gets You

That stump isn’t just an eyesore. It’s a safety hazard waiting to trip someone, a magnet for termites and carpenter ants, and dead space you can’t use for anything meaningful.

Professional stump removal changes everything. You get your full yard back – space you can actually mow, landscape, or let your kids play on safely. No more awkward maneuvering around that stubborn reminder of what used to be there.

The grinding goes below ground level, so there’s no regrowth sprouting up every few months. No more shoots, no more suckers, no more problem. Just clean, usable space where you can finally plant something you actually want or simply enjoy an unobstructed lawn.

Our Stump Grinding Process

Simple Process, Complete Results

We start by assessing your stump and the surrounding area to determine the best approach. Our professional-grade grinder reduces the entire stump to wood chips, going several inches below ground level to ensure no regrowth.

The grinding process is systematic and controlled. We work from the outside edges toward the center, completely eliminating the stump and major root system. This isn’t surface-level work – we’re removing the problem permanently.

Cleanup is included in every job. We remove all wood chips unless you want to keep them for mulch, backfill the hole with soil, and leave your property clean. You’re left with level ground ready for whatever comes next – whether that’s grass seed, new landscaping, or just enjoying the open space.

Complete Stump Removal Service

What's Included in Every Job

Every stump removal includes complete grinding below ground level, not just surface work. We bring professional equipment that handles stumps of any size safely and efficiently, something you can’t get with rental grinders or DIY approaches.

Rocky Point’s soil conditions and tree varieties require specific techniques. Our experience with local oak, maple, and pine stumps means we know exactly how deep to grind and what to expect from different root systems. This prevents the sprouting issues that plague incomplete removal jobs.

Site cleanup and restoration are standard. We don’t just grind and leave – we remove debris, backfill with quality soil, and ensure your property looks better than when we arrived. You get immediate results and long-term peace of mind that the problem is actually solved.

We grind stumps 6-8 inches below ground level as standard practice. This depth ensures complete removal of the visible stump and prevents regrowth from occurring. Going below ground level is crucial because it eliminates the cambium layer where new shoots develop. Surface-level grinding might look complete initially, but you’ll see sprouting within months. Our depth also allows for proper soil backfilling so you can plant grass, flowers, or new trees in the same spot without interference from remaining stump material.
Our professional equipment and experienced operators minimize impact to your existing landscape. We use track-mounted grinders that distribute weight evenly and can navigate tight spaces without tearing up your lawn. We also take precautions to protect nearby plants, sprinkler systems, and hardscaping. Any minor turf disturbance from equipment access is typically minimal and recovers quickly. We’re much more precise than DIY methods or inexperienced operators who often cause unnecessary damage trying to maneuver equipment they’re not familiar with.
Most residential stumps take 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on size and root system complexity. A standard 12-18 inch diameter stump usually takes about an hour including setup and cleanup. Larger stumps from mature oaks or maples can take longer, while smaller ornamental tree stumps are often completed in 30 minutes or less. We provide time estimates upfront so you know what to expect. The actual grinding is just part of the process – we also include site preparation, debris removal, and backfilling which ensures you get complete results, not just a hole in your yard.
You have options with the wood chips produced during grinding. Many customers choose to keep some or all of the chips for mulch around other trees, flower beds, or garden areas. Fresh wood chips make excellent natural mulch that retains moisture and suppresses weeds. If you don’t want the chips, we remove them completely as part of our cleanup service. We can also mix some chips with soil for backfilling if that works better for your specific situation. We always ask your preference before starting and handle the chips according to your needs.
Yes, our equipment and techniques allow us to safely remove stumps in tight spaces near buildings, fences, pools, and other structures. We use precision grinding methods and have experience working in confined areas common in Rocky Point’s established neighborhoods. However, we do need adequate access for our equipment – typically at least 36 inches of clearance. We assess each situation individually and let you know upfront if access will be an issue. In cases where equipment access is impossible, we can discuss alternative removal methods, though grinding is almost always the most effective approach.
No, proper stump grinding prevents regrowth when done correctly. By grinding below ground level and removing the cambium layer, we eliminate the stump’s ability to produce new shoots. This is the key difference between professional grinding and surface-level cutting or incomplete removal. Some tree species are more aggressive about sprouting than others, but our depth and thoroughness prevent this issue. You might occasionally see a small shoot emerge from a distant root section, but the main stump area will not regrow. This permanence is why professional grinding is worth the investment compared to temporary solutions.
